Geographics respects the privacy of your personal and financial information. It is important to us that our online shopping environment is not only easy to use and convenient, but private and secure as well.

This privacy policy is intended to help you understand how our systems work and what safeguards are in place to protect your privacy.

By using this site, you agree to Geographics' collection and use of your information according to the terms described on this privacy page, and elsewhere in this Web site. We will post any changes to our privacy policy on this page, including what information is collected, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.

Geographics may disclose account information when required by law, or when, in good faith, we need to protect the rights, property, or safety of Geographics, its customers, or others.

Please note that the Geographics Web site may contain links to other Web sites; however, we are not responsible for their privacy policies.

Sale of Information
As part of our guarantee to you, our customers, Geographics promises not to sell, trade, rent, or otherwise provide any of your personal information to any third party except as noted here to service product shipments.

Cookies
The Geographics site requires the use of cookies for full access to the site. Cookies are small bits of information stored on your computer's hard drive by your browser, and used to personalize your online experience. Our cookies do not provide personally identifying information, but rather save your login information for your convenience, and provide content specific to your interests. The information gathered may be shared with advertisers or partners on an aggregate basis for broad demographic statistics, but none of it will personally identify you. If you choose to turn off cookies in your browser, you will be unable to use the Online Store features of our Web site.

Secure Socket Layer
Geographics uses SSL technology--the industry standard for secure e-commerce --to encrypt your name, address, and credit card number. SSL allows you to safely and securely enter sensitive information in your browser, and rest comfortably assured that your information will not be intercepted and decrypted while in transit.

Firewall
The Geographics site is hosted behind an Internet firewall. Firewalls assist in the security of your data by limiting electronic access to the Geographics server to Geo system administrators.

Fair Credit Billing Act
If you pay with a credit card, the Fair Credit Billing Act states that your bank cannot hold you liable for more than $50.00 of fraudulent charges. Of course, if you ever believe your credit card has been compromised, you should always contact your credit card company immediately.

Online Store
Because a third-party shipper may handle our shipping, they will have access to your personal information (name and address)--but only your personal information. Credit card information and record of your transaction are protected behind our firewall.
